Mastering the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) digital ecosystem for vehicle and driver services.
Launched by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Parivahan Sewa is the centralized national registry for all transport-related records in India, facilitating everything from RTO code lookups to real-time document verification.
"To facilitate a citizen-friendly environment through automation and streamlining of processes, ensuring transparency and ease of access."
Unified record-keeping for 1300+ RTOs across India.
Aadhaar-based contactless applications for DL and RC, allowing citizens to bypass the physical office for most standard RTO services.
End-to-end encrypted transactions and document verification.
The Parivahan ecosystem is divided into two primary engines based on the type of record.
Vahan is the application for Vehicle Registration. It manages the entire lifecycle of a vehicle from showroom delivery to scrapping, including mandatory vehicle detail checks to verify ownership history.
Sarathi handles everything related to the Driver. It is the centralized database for all Indian driving licenses, ensuring all applicants meet the minimum age and qualification standards before applying. For a deeper dive, see our complete Sarathi 4.0 guide.
